Derby's Croft joins St Johnstone on loan

The 26-year old has not appeared for the Rams since October 22 and has been allowed to leave Pride Park by manager Nigel Clough who sees the move to McDiarmid Park as a good chance for Croft to get some first team football.

"It is an opportunity for Lee to go and get some games with a view to doing something in the summer," said Clough in the Derby Evening Telegraph.
